The Honorable Dominic Yagong, Chairman and Members of the County Council Page 4 Waste Management Plan will be prepared. Electricity and telephone services are available to the site. The project site has no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be rectified or which would render the land unusable. The property is located within Zone "X", areas determined to be outside the 500-year floodplain. All development generated storm run-off shall be disposed of on-site and not allowed onto adjacent properties or roadways. As the property is developed, no professional archaeological survey was conducted of the site. By letter dated February 10, 2012, the applicant requested a letter of no effect from the DLNR Historic Properties Division (HPD). The DLNR-HPD has responded that no historic properties will be affected by this rezoning. The applicant has stated that should any archaeological features or sites be discovered during the development of this project, work will immediately cease and the Planning Department will be notified. No professional flora or fauna surveys were conducted, as the applicant does not believe that rare or endangered floral or faunal resources are on the improved site. The property is located in an urban setting close to existing industrial and commercial uses and fully developed with a single-family dwelling. The request is not contrary to Chapter 205A, Hawai`i Revised Statutes, relating to Coastal Zone Management. The property is not located in the Special Management Area. The project site is located more than one mile from the shoreline and will not be impacted by coastal hazard and beach erosion. There is no record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the properties. According to the applicant, no valued cultural, historical or natural resources exist on the property and there is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site. Thus, it is not anticipated that the proposed request will have any adverse impact on cultural or historical resources in the area. Therefore, no action is necessary to protect these rights. Based on the above findings, approval of this change of zone request from a Single-Family Residential(RS-10)to an Industrial-Commercial Mixed (MCX-20) district would result in an appropriate land use pattern that will further benefit the general public.
